Results for the time series data sets.

Presentation of the results obtained by our RL based temporal ordering algorithm, the value of the evaluation measure SMD of the ordering, the computational time, other orderings obtained in the literature for the same data sets and their corresponding evaluation measures. The last column specifies specifies whether our method leads to better solutions (in terms of correct known ordering, or of lower values of the evaluation measure), compared to those that have already been reported in the literature.aComputational time of our algorithm, in seconds.b“Imprv.” is the abbreviation for “Improvement”, specifying whether our method obtained an improvement compared to the other methods existing in the literature.
